After awakening his Shinigami abilities and destroying the Hollow that attacked his home and family thanks to Rukia Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki at 15 years old can finally breathe a sigh of relief and continue his normal life at Karakura High School. The next day on October 5th, he goes to school like normal and meets his classmates, Orihime Inoue, Tatsuki Arisawa, Keigo Asano, Mizuiro Kojima, and Yasutora Sado or Chad. When he gets there, he's surprised to see Rukia enrolled in his class despite her saying she was an adult last night. He looks to Rukia with his trademark glare and starts questioning her immediately.

Ichigo: "What the hell? What are you doing at my school, dude?"
